Crop failure
Alistair Macdonald wrote:
South east England. One - raspberries. Two - plums.
Autumn Bliss. Plants about five years old. Excellent crops until this year.
Very poor and the leaves on several plants have lost their "green-ness"
Prune to ground level every year about January and feed with Growmore at
that time.
Victoria Plum. About 20 years old. Never a very good cropper, but a couple
of years ago produced a bumper crop of excellent fruits. Last year about
half-a-dozen and this year nil. Prune two thirds of last years growth in
early Spring.
Any suggestions?

I have an 8yo Victoria, fan trained. It has always cropped every other
year & this year about 35lbs, next year 0. Still well worth it
